I know how to fight. Now go!!
Uxei didn’t need to warn them. Roughly the same number of Xiongnu charged out to meet
the enemy.
Change of plan. We attack them together.
“Right!!’’
The battle raged on and on. At one point, the Xiongnu were pushed back to the gates, but
Shocktail charged in from the right, spraying poison and zapping the Han with its electric tail.
Within minutes, the whole Han right flank was destroyed. This gave the Xiongnu new power, and
they crushed the Han like a vice.
Everything was OK, until Shocktail received a blow to the stomach. It was a very deep one,
and it bled like crazy. Uxei didn’t notice this until the battle ended.
“Oh my gods, Shocktail, you’re hurt!’’
I’ll be OK. Perhaps.
“But...... you’re dying! I can feel it!’’
That is correct. Only one thing I gotta ask you. I was unconscious at the end of the battle.
Did....we...........win?
“Yes,’’ his eyes streaming. “Yes, we did.’’
Thank....you. Goodbye,.... old..friend.
And Uxei’s tears were warm on the death worm’s scarred nose.
